Nonstop flight route between Washington, D.C. / Virginia, United States and Dillon, Montana, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Washington, D.C. / Virginia, United States and Dillon Airport (DLN), Dillon, Montana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,836 miles (or 2,954 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Washington Dulles International Airport and Dillon Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD):

• Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) has 5 runways.
• Because of Washington Dulles International Airport's relatively low elevation of 313 feet, planes can take off or land at Washington Dulles International Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• A new train system, dubbed AeroTrain and developed by Mitsubishi, began in 2010 to transport passengers between the concourses and the main terminal.
• A new and permanent C/D concourse is planned as part of the D2 Dulles Development Project.
• The closest airport to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is Leesburg Executive Airport (JYO), which is located only 11 miles (17 kilometers) NNW of IAD.
• The main terminal was extended in 1996 to 1,240 feet —Saarinen's original design length—which was slightly more than double its originally constructed length of 600 feet.
• The design included a landscaped man-made lake to collect rainwater, a low-rise hotel, and a row of office buildings along the north side of the main parking lot.
• The furthest airport from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,659 miles (18,763 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.

Facts about Dillon Airport (DLN):

• The closest airport to Dillon Airport (DLN) is Bert Mooney Airport (BTM), which is located 48 miles (78 kilometers) N of DLN.

• The furthest airport from Dillon Airport (DLN) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,660 miles (17,155 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Because of Dillon Airport's high elevation of 5,241 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DLN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DLN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
